    anyone who knows this can answer...its that random.

    just curious - you know on the right side of a video it has different sections? Like thumbnail choices and its stats? ok what exactly does the "referrers" part mean? usually a bunch of links pop up. what exactly are those?

    yeah...i was just curious

    i believe "referrers" is what "details" used to be... to see where your video is being linked from

    Yea and for some reason a lot of mine look like this:

    haha, i think that one is my fault. it was a script i wrote way back, now when search engines spider my site that referrer shows up.
    it's fixed.

    That means a link or the video itself was embedded on a site and that is showing you where views are coming from outside of vimeo.

    and sometimes even from vimeo.com (which seems redundant, but who knows).

    so weird!! so if i have links there it could mean someone is using my video somewhere? thats kind of strange to think...whatever cool.
  • Khamis Hammoudeh 1 year ago
    Or that theres a link on a webpage to your video... like from a search engine etc... :)

    I've stopped checking the referrers. Google searches, myspace bulletins, and webforums I've never heard of...

    Rarely get views from my own sites. :)
